Frequently asked questions about prescription safety spectacles

Exposure to the sun without adequate eye protection has side effects that are not immediately noticeable but accumulate over time. This can lead to serious injuries such as retinal burns, photo retinitis, photokeratitis, photo conjunctivitis and even contribute to the development of cataracts. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 18 million people in the world have gone blind due to cataracts attributable to ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Wearing sun protection glasses can prevent, and even eliminate, these risks. Our sunglasses for work are classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and comply with EN166 and EN172 regulations, ensuring maximum safety.

Knowing the sun filter categories is essential when choosing sunglasses. These categories, numbered from 0 to 4, are specified in a leaflet or on the marking of the glasses, and indicate the level of intensity of the filter:

    • Category 0: Very clear lenses, suitable for indoor or low-light conditions
    • Category 4: Very dark lenses, ideal for extreme light environments, such as mountains or snow.

These categories do not depend on the color of the lens, but on its light transmission capacity, which helps determine appropriate use in different work environments.

Work sunglasses must offer protection against visible, UV and IR radiation. Some key features to consider include:

  • Optical class: Can be 1, 2 or 3, depending on the visual precision required
  • Resistance to surface deterioration (symbol K): Ideal for environments with particles.
  • Resistance to fogging (symbol N): Essential in environments with temperature changes.
  • High infrared reflectance (symbol R): Recommended for prolonged exposure to intense heat.
  • Photochromic filter: Automatically adapts to light conditions, varying its transmission based on light intensity.
  • Polarized filter: Eliminates light reflections on surfaces such as water, glass or asphalt.
  1. Indoor and outdoorr: Photochromic lenses that adapt to both environments.
  2. Glare environments: Polarized lenses are ideal for work with liquids, water or driving.
  3. Panoramic vision: For high-risk jobs that require full side vision, consider panoramic glasses like the Aventur Max.
  4. Protection against extreme impacts: Glasses with an inner foam shield, such as the Organik Hermetic, offer a secure eye seal and additional protection.
It indicates that the lens is designed to provide complete protection against ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB), which are highly energetic and damaging to the eyes.
  • Pegaso Fotocrom: For indoor and outdoor work.
  • Street: For prolonged exposure to high solar intensity.
  • F1: With inner eye foam, ideal for environments with a high risk of impact.
  • Aventur Max: For superior panoramic vision.
Place two polarized lenses at a 90-degree angle. If almost total darkening occurs, the glasses are polarized.
They provide an all-in-one solution, as they combine clear and solar lenses. They darken or lighten automatically depending on the light intensity, eliminating the need to wear two separate glasses.
